Christian Steinbarth and his wife Johanna Sophia arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 15 September 1766 aboard the Danish galliot Nord Stern under the command of Skipper Detlev Belling.
Christian Steinbart and his wife Johanna Christina are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Lauwe on 19 August 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 7.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Christian Steinbarth was a miller while the 1767 census records that he was a cloth weaver (Tuchweber).

There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
